Sample Preparation Devices

WIN IN EFFICIENCY, AUTOMATION, SPEED & SAFETY WITH OUR NEW SAMPLE PREPARATION DEVICES

HORIBA Scientific offers a great range of possible solutions for our analyzers, to save time and ensure that the end results are as accurate as possible!
Whatever your analytical solutions: ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AA, Fluorescence X, elemental analyzers, etc.… HORIBA Scientific can provide you with many sample preparation devices, such as:

• Grinders: Mills, Cryogenic Grinders, Discs
HORIBA Scientific provides a large range of laboratory grinders capable of pulverizing and homogenizing a wide variety of samples, including metals, rocks, plastics, plant and animal tissue, bone, pharmaceuticals, and more.

• Digestion systems: Hot Block, Automatic Digestion Systems, Microwaves
Acid digestion dissolves sample into solution by adding acids and heating, until the matrix is completely decomposed.
Anywhere you need to decompose a sample for release of the analyte, or for analysis of trace metals, acid digestion is the recommended process.
It is the ideal companion for ICP, ICP-MS, AA, or AFS instruments.
Typical samples/applications include: Geology (glass, metallurgy (ceramic, stainless steel), environment (waste, soil, ashes…), food, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, biochemistry, and biology (blood, urine…).
HORIBA Scientific, a leading manufacturer of atomic emission spectrometers, provides a full package of digestion systems to ensure that the analytical results will be as correct as possible.

• Dilution Station: QPrep
Our automated dilutor automatically dilutes all your samples and standards solutions for AA, ICP-OES and ICP-MS. Diluting a sample becomes quick, easy and efficient, thereby improving your lab productivity.
To know how the Qprep is workin: See our video

• Presses
Analytical spectroscopic methods such as XRF, OES, and IR often require samples in the form of a round, flat-surfaced discs. Our laboratory pellet presses are ideal for preparing sample discs for these methods. Our range includes manual and automatic hydraulic presses and an air-actuated press. In addition, our presses are designed to fit on the benchtop, requiring less space than standard floor model presses.

• Electric fusion fluxers
Borate fusion is a sample preparation technique to prepare glass disks (beads) for XRF, or to prepare peroxide or pyrosulphate fusions. An optional solution stirrer provides for AA, ICP and wet chemistry solution making ability. With our automated electric fluxers, preparing fusions becomes quick, easy and efficient, improving lab productivity. Typical samples/applications include: cements, ores, slag, sediments, soils, rocks, ceramics, pigments, glass, and even metals.

• Furnaces
To eliminate pollutions on the surface of your crucibles, HORIBA Scientific offers 2 types of furnaces adapted to calcination and general thermal treatment.
